    Currently debugging kernels are not installed by default. Would it be
    possible to add a flag in make.conf to allow a kernel.debug to be
    installed along side the regular kernel? This way people can set things
    up once and not having to worry about digging around for a kernel with
    symbols if a panic should occur.

    I know there's there's an installkernel.debug target under /usr/src,
    but I'm unclear as to what it does. Does it install both the regular
    and debugging kernels, or just the debugging one?

    Just a suggestion.
